See 1.17.0 release notes below.. +This is an urgent bugfix release for a regression made in 1.18.0. + +Bug fixes: + o ares_getaddrinfo() would return ai_addrlen of 16 for ipv6 + adddresses rather than the sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) -c-ares version 1.17.0 -Security: - o avoid read-heap-buffer-overflow in ares_parse_soa_reply found during - fuzzing [2] [3] - o Avoid theoretical buffer overflow in RC4 loop comparison [5] - o Empty hquery->name could lead to invalid memory access [15] - o ares_parse_{a,aaaa}_reply() could return a larger *naddrttls than was - passed in [17] +c-ares version 1.18.0 + +This is a feature and bugfix release. It addresses a couple of new feature +requests as well as a couple of bug fixes. Changes: - o Update help information for adig, acountry, and ahost [4] - o Test Suite now uses dynamic system-assigned ports rather than hardcoded - ports to prevent failures in containers [10] - o Detect remote DNS server does not support EDNS using rules from RFC 6891 [12] - o Source tree has been reorganized to use a more modern layout [13] - o Allow parsing of CAA Resource Record [14] + o Add support for URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) records via + ares_parse_uri_reply() [1] + o Provide ares_nameser.h as a public interface as needed by NodeJS [5] + o Update URLs from c-ares.haxx.se to c-ares.org [9] + o During a domain search, treat ARES_ENODATA as ARES_NXDOMAIN so that the + search process will continue to the next domain in the search. [11] + o Turn ares_gethostbyname() into a wrapper for ares_getaddrinfo() as they + followed very similar code paths and ares_gethostbyaddr() has some more + desirable features such as priority sorting and parallel queries for + AF_UNSPEC. [12] + o ares_getaddrinfo() now contains a name element in the address info + structure as the last element. This is not an API or ABI break due to + the structure always being internally allocated and it being the last + element. [12] + o ares_parse_a_reply() and ares_parse_aaaa_reply() were nearly identical, those + now use the same helper functions for parsing rather than having their own + code. [12] + o RFC6761 Section 6.3 says "localhost" lookups need to be special cased to + return loopback addresses, and not forward queries to recursive dns servers. + On Windows this now returns all loopback addresses, on other systems it + returns 127.0.0.1 or ::1 always, and will never forward a request for + "localhost" to outside DNS servers. [13] + o Haiki: port [14] Bug fixes: - o readaddrinfo bad sizeof() [1] - o Test cases should honor HAVE_WRITEV flag, not depend on WIN32 [6] - o FQDN with trailing period should be queried first [7] - o ares_getaddrinfo() was returning members of the struct as garbage values if - unset, and was not honoring ai_socktype and ai_protocol hints. [8] [9] - o ares_gethostbyname() with AF_UNSPEC and an ip address would fail [11] - o Properly document ares_set_local_ip4() uses host byte order [16] + o add build to .gitignore [2] + o z/OS minor update, add missing semicolon in ares_init.c [3] + o Fix building when latest ax_code_coverage.m4 is imported [4] + o Work around autotools 'error: too many loops' and other newer autotools + import related bugs. + o MinGW cross builds need advapi32 link as lower case [6] + o Cygwin build fix due to containing both socket.h and winsock2.h [7] + o ares_expand_name should allow underscores (_) as SRV records legitimately use + them [8] + o Allow '/' as a valid character for a returned name for CNAME in-addr.arpa + delegation [10] + o ares_getaddrinfo() was not honoring HOSTALIASES [12] + o ares_getaddrinfo() had some test cases disabled due to a bug in the test + framework itself which has now been resolved [12] + o Due to Travis-CI becoming unfriendly to open-source, Cirrus-CI has now been + brought online for automated unit testing.
